Introduction
1.1
Key Features
The AMIC110 ICE is a high-performance, low-power platform that enables users to evaluate and develop
industrial communications applications for the Sitara AMIC110 ARM Cortex-A8 processor SoC from Texas
Instruments™. The AMIC110 SoC has the following key features:
•
Sitara ARM Cortex-A8 32-bit RISC processor (up to 300 MHz)
•
Two programmable real-time unit and industrial communication subsystems (PRU-ICSS)
•
64KB of general-purpose, on-chip memory controller (OCMC) RAM (shared L3 RAM)
•
Supports protocols such as EtherCAT
®
, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and Ethernet/IP™
•
Two multichannel audio serial port (McASP) peripherals
•
Two master and slave McASPI serial interfaces
•
Three I
2
C master and slave interfaces and six UART interfaces
•
Eight 32-bit general-purpose timers
•
Three enhanced high-resolution PWM modules (eHRPWMs)
•
Three external DMA event inputs that can be used as interrupt inputs
•
Three MMC, SD, and SDIO ports
•
Two USB 2.0 high-speed OTG ports with integrated PHY
•
324-pin, S-PBGA-N324 package with 0.80-mm ball pitch
The AMIC110 ICE has the following key features:
•
AMIC110 is based on the Sitara ARM Cortex-A8 32-bit RISC processor at 300 MHz
•
512MB of DDR3
•
8MB of SPI Flash
•
32KB of I
2
C EEPROM
•
Two 10/100 industrial Ethernet connectors with external magnetics
•
RoHS compliant design
•
20-pin JTAG header to support all types of external emulators
•
EMC compliant, industrial temperature dual-port EtherCAT slave with an SPI interface
•
5-V input supply, single-chip power management IC (TPS650250) to power the entire board
•
AMIC110 can be configured to boot EtherCAT firmware from SPI Flash and also supports boot through
the SPI host processor
•
No DDR or other external RAM required when the EtherCAT slave stack runs on an external host
processor (such as the C2000™)
•
Texas Instruments™ LaunchPad™ compatible BoosterPack™ format
•
3.3-V SPI interface to C2000 F28069M LaunchPad
The AMIC110 ICE featured applications are:
•
Industrial drivers
•
Industrial sensors
•
Factory automation and control
